*Newbie Alert* My Food Diary-advice and general chit chat would be fabulous!

[Chloe_Fisher_:)]

Hello Im Chloe and this is my third week on SW. My first week I lost 4lbs but last week stayed the same so this week im on a mission to shift some pounds! As I don't go to a class I can sometimes find myself having a bit of a cheat, so I thought doing this food diary would be more motivation to be good and get that bikini body! I've been doing alternate red and green days however I'm trying my first EE week this week. I started on Monday so will write from then. Any advice would be amazing!

Hi Chloe just read your food diary, similar things to I would eat so all sounds good. How are you finding EE ? I have only ever followed that, not sure how I'd find red/green days. You're good at the exercise bit, that's what I need to think about I hate exercise reminds me of scary PE lessons at school which I was rubbish at. 4lb loss is really good keep going, I get disheartened when I stay the same of put on even 1/2 lb but sometimes it happens. Good luck, I'm off to start my own food dairy on here (scary!) as I'm following the plan at home and another member on here suggested it for motivation and advice.

Thanks ladies! Im actually finding EE so much easier then red/green days, I find red days quite hard but dont mind green, think ill be sticking to EE for a while though. Well I do dance at uni and im part of my university cheerleading squad, but now uni is over and I have no exercise so trying to fit at least 45 mins a day in, although I didnt do any today as Im very sore from the aerobics yesterday haha! Let me know when you start your food diaries and ill be sure to subscribe

I must admit I cant take all the credit for that, mums recipe! Feeling abit guilty about that choccie bar now but I had a sugar craving and if I didnt have anything I would have totally devoured the sweet drawer!

 

[Princess_Stevie]

Don't feel guilty hun, that's what Syns are for! Most of the time that's what I use my Syns on, so you shouldn't worry - you're still within your Syns allowance

 

[Chloe_Fisher_:)]

Going out with my mum for lunch today (uh oh!) and started my time of the month this morning which is typical the day before weigh in! Hopefully i can be sensible at lunch time and dont totally pig out on nice food and wine!

[Iwillbeaskinnyminny]

Hi I'm another newbie and keeping a food diary on here sounds like a greatbidea, thin it'll help me seeing it in black an White, I've subscribed to ur diary too oh an well done on 4 lb loss! That's almost 2 bags of sugar isnt it? Pick up 1 bag next time ur in supermarket and it's a fair weight so u shud be well chuffed

 

[Chloe_Fisher_:)]

Yes when i get home ill try and dig out the recipe for you im sure its in one of my slimming world books.

Hi fellow newbie! Yes i find the food diaries really good motivation, however iv been bad today ! Ill update later on

 

[Chloe_Fisher_:)]

I asked for you and the recipe is on the SW website apparently, if you search for 'steak with pink peppercorn sauce' thats the one however we made it with pork, used normal peppercorns not black and added leeks to the sauce too

Now for todays diary. I went out for lunch with my mum and had a chicken and mushroom pasta bake, I asked and it had about 1tbsp oil and 2tbsps of cream, so not that bad?

Breakfast
Egg on toast (HEXb)

Dinner
Chicken and mushroom pasta bake with 3 slices of soft italian bread-Im unsure how many syns this would be???

Tea
Im stuffed so just thinking some left over mackerel, fruit and fat free mullerlight

syns=no idea so im saying 15 to be safe haha!
